Well I guess that's what I'd expect. Perhaps they do no more than add some other lines as I do (though I do use the arrows where you use pagekeys). For others: # Combine uparrow with ^R function: "\e[A": history-search-backward "\e[B": history-search-forward # BUT we have to redefine these keys: "\e[C": forward-char "\e[D": backward-char # AND downarrow will clear the line if the cursor has been moved left or right, # AND recall leaves the cursor at the start of the line, which is better. # Use these keys for something useful: "\e[5~": backward-word "\e[6~": forward-word "\e\e[3~": kill-word "\e[2~": end-of-history Cheers, -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1908 653 739 Fax: +44 1908 655 151 Snail: David Wright, Earth Science Dept., Milton Keynes, England, MK7 6AA Disclaimer: These addresses are only for reaching me, and do not signify official stationery.
